Description

When an attractive female officer helicoptered aboard a submarine at sea triggers the security alarm, just who among the all-male crew is to perform the mandatory full strip-search? It turns out that two marine NCOs are required - but is this something Lieutenant Laura Lacey knows already? Clearly enjoying pulling rank (among other things) a sudden requirement for silent running," plus a minor medical emergency has Lt Lacey engaged at full stretch with her NCOs, even without her clothes. But is the ""Old Man"" aware of these goings-on aboard his vessel? It turns out that the captain has his own, old-fashioned concept of naval discipline to whip his errant female officer into line."

The Story

The captain swivelled the periscope around as the boat re-submerged following the helicopter rendezvous. The marine sergeant stood stiffly to attention and delivered his salute to the Old Man’s back. ‘She’s aboard, sir!’
‘Lieutenant Lacey is safely aboard, I take it, sergeant?
‘Aye aye, sir! Lieutenant Lacey is aboard. Beg pardon, sir!’
Halfway through his visual sweep, the captain looked around at the marine. ‘“Skipper” will do just fine, sergeant. And try to relax a bit. In the “Boats” we like to be a little less formal than our surface sailing colleagues. Is there anything else?’ He raised his eyebrows at the marine’s continued presence.
‘Lieutenant Lacey has triggered the silent security scan, er ... skipper.’
‘Well, it’s happened before – follow standard procedures.’
The sergeant glanced around the crowded control room. Two officers exchange significant looks, but the skipper had turned back to his periscope.
‘But she’s, I mean Lieutenant Lacey is a woman , skipper. We can’t just ...’
The captain did not turn around. ‘Lieutenant Lacey is in the bloody navy and must be treated as any other member of the service! Carry on sergeant.’
‘Aye aye, skipper!’

Back at the main hatch, a few idle hands had gathered – pretending to work or just gawking. The female officer was the first woman they’d seen after nine days out on patrol – and what a woman! Her drenched uniform clung to an unmistakably female person, but one in a foul mood. An encounter with the grey Atlantic breaking over the hull was a common enough hazard when being lowered aboard from a helicopter.

‘Sergeant! How much longer am I to be kept waiting in my wet clothes?’
‘Not much longer, ma’am!’
Not in your clothes, any road, he thought.
‘Smith! Simpson!’ the sergeant snapped at the idlers. ‘Get on with your duties!’
She visibly relaxed as the men dispersed. ‘Isn’t the captain or one of his officers going to welcome me aboard?
